1985 Vtg US Navy Med Cruise Jacket USS CORRAL SEA CV-43 Wool Combat Patch 80s
Original vintage 1980s embroidered US Navy Mediterranean Cruise wool Jacket. Dated 1985 – 1986. Aboard the USS Coral Sea (CV-43). Two front chest flap pockets. Two lower open slash pockets. Elastic waistband and cuffs and neckline. Embroidered on back Italy, Egypt, France, Spain, Israel, Turkey, and Greece.. Assorted Country Yacht Club USN patches on front and both sleeves and dragon patches on cuffs.. French Parachutist Airborne and US Navy pin backs on front. Ferguson, with CVW-13 embarked, it was also the first deployment of the new F/A-18 Hornet to the Mediterranean. The Hornets were assigned to VFA-131 and VFA-132 in USS CORAL SEA. On 24 March 1986, Libyan armed forces fired missiles at U. Naval forces operating in the Gulf of Sidra after declaring international waters as their own. Retaliation was swift and deadly. Additionally, F/A-18 Hornets from USS CORAL SEA and A-7E Corsairs from USS AMERICA (CV 66) conducted air-to-surface Shrike and HARM missile strikes against Libyan surface-to-air missile sites at Benghazi and Tripoli on 14 and 15 April. USS CORAL SEA continued deployments to the Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean area throughout the remainder of the 1980s and into the 1990s. One of the better condition versions of these jackets I’ve come across.. Quite clean and wrinkle free.. No major soiling except on a couple of the country patches.. No real noticeable holes.. Shown on men’s vintage size medium mannequin torso. 23.5 pit to pit. 25.5 top to bottom. 19.5 across shoulders. 14.5 pit to bottom. 21 across bottom opening (stretch elastic). Appears to fit like a men’s size medium. Zoom in on photos for details and overall condition and message with any questions.

This is a big plaque measuring 11.5″ x 9.25″ and has great color. This was hand painted and it’s in good shape. There could be light scratches, edge nick issues, and the wood has the same issues and some light discoloration. The wood on this plaque is 1 thick and in good shape. Overall, really nice collectible from a great aircraft carrier.
